| Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It was the Animal's tour. I was there at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. The show started 20 minutes early because they were trying to "get through" the show while they could and while the pain meds were working. It was the first arena show I had ever been to--lower level stage left. Everyone was still out in the concourse getting drinks and whatnot, and the baseline for Sheep started. It was wild watching everyone flow back into the stadium, find there seats and then sit in wrapped attention to the music. They had the circular back lit screen, and the Pig inflatable came down a zip line from the upper ring of the stadium. And as with all Floyd shows, the attention to tuning the area made from some of the most multidimensional soundscapes I have ever experienced at a live show. They were real sticklers for getting the sound right. Saw them again at Nassau Colosseum in New York for The Wall 1980. What a show. Same great acoustics. Same great music. |
